With a brand new Pro Lite truck and an entirely new set up, US-driver Casey Currie started off the 2014 "Lucas Oil Off-Road" (USA) season with a 5th place overall finish and the feedback he needed to further tune the new Pro Lite.

Qualifying 7th in Round 1, Casey and the team made some last minute changes to the Bilstein shock absorbers and greatly improved the truck from practice, finishing in 6th place.

With a long line of podiums and wins in Baja, Super Moto, and Short Course racing, Casey is arguably the most multi-faceted driver in the Off-Road space.

Earning his seat with Monster Energy and winning his first Pro Lite Championship in the "TORC series" in 2010, while still an avid participant in as many other races as he can attend, the California native continues to push the envelope. No matter the field, or class in which he races, Casey’s consistent focus is on how to be faster...
